Urology Scrub
We are seeking an experienced Urology Scrub Practitioner to join a busy operating theatre team. You will provide skilled and compassionate support throughout a range of urological procedures, ensuring patients receive safe, efficient and high-quality care at every stage of their surgical journey.
Working alongside surgeons, anaesthetists, nurses and other theatre professionals, you will prepare the operating environment, check equipment and ensure all required instruments, implants and consumables are available and fit for purpose. You will undertake scrub duties during procedures, anticipate the needs of the surgical team, maintain a sterile field and contribute to the safe and effective running of the theatre list.
Your responsibilities will include completing surgical safety checks, assisting with patient positioning, maintaining accurate documentation, handling specimens appropriately and supporting the safe transfer of patients to recovery. You will be expected to follow infection prevention and control procedures, comply with local policies and professional standards, and promptly escalate any concerns relating to patient safety, equipment or clinical practice.
The role will involve supporting a broad range of urological surgery, which may include endourology, cystoscopy, TUR procedures, ureteroscopy, lithotripsy, laparoscopic surgery and other specialist interventions. A willingness to develop expertise in new techniques and equipment will be highly valued. You may also be required to undertake circulating duties and support the wider theatre team when necessary.
You should be a registered nurse or operating department practitioner with relevant experience in a theatre environment, ideally with a strong background in urology. You will need excellent communication and organisational skills, a calm approach under pressure and the ability to work effectively as part of a multidisciplinary team. A commitment to maintaining professional development, delivering patient-centred care and promoting a positive safety culture is essential.
This is an opportunity to contribute to a supportive and forward-thinking clinical service where your expertise, reliability and dedication will be valued. Flexible working may be required to meet operational needs, including participation in varied theatre sessions and on-call or extended-hours arrangements where applicable.
